Thanks so much, Cheryl, and thanks also for your excellent contributions to “Emma in the Snow” and “An Invitation to Mansfield Park.” It makes me very happy to know that you enjoy reading the blog. I appreciate your support and encouragement.

Thank you very much for your kind words about the blog. I’m finding it hard to believe eight years have gone by already! It means a lot to me to know that you’re reading and enjoying these posts on Austen and other writers.

Dear Sarah,
Congratulations on this major accomplishment. You have facilitated a fine forum for the celebration and discussion of Mansfield Park, Emma, Persuasion and Northanger Abbey. I look forward to more of you on your own thought-provoking blogs. Sheila

Welcome!

I write about Jane Austen, Jane Austen for kids, and Edith Wharton. Sometimes I post about other writers I admire, such as L.M. Montgomery, and about places I love (especially Nova Scotia and Alberta). I taught writing at Harvard University before I decided to come home to Nova Scotia to write full time.
